Being good in every sense is what Ella’s Kitchen is all about, meaning that they really focus on how their baby food engages all of the senses so that our babies will grow up to be good little eaters. That’s why their packaging is bright, the pouches are scrunchy and fun for Louis to squeeze and the food is made with only whole ingredients so that it smells delicious and packs a BIG taste.

Since we’ve been getting packages for Christmas gifts shipped to us, I’ve gotten a few of these large sheets of brown paper packaging that work perfectly for wrapping paper. We’re not about to let all that go to waste! Time to upcycle it first!

Did you know that Ella’s Kitchen has a partnership with Terracycle to help recycle their pouches into unique and useful items like baby bags, playgrounds, gardens and more? They’re taking upcycling to a whole new level!

The boys got to ‘work’ decorating they’re upcycled wrapping paper. I set them up with some dishes of homemade (and edible) paint!

I simply squirted some baby food into a dish, added some color oomph to it with food coloring in Christmas colors (red, green and gold). Smells awesome!

On the other hand, Henry stamped all over the reused brown paper packaging in every color.

I waited for it to dry and wrapped up Henry’s teacher’s gift in it and even stuck in a bag of the Ella’s Kitchen baby food pouch caps, because there’s lots of learning from them (check out those ideas from The Educator’s Spin On It) too!

I have a Pinterest board to showcase some fun holiday crafts that are easy to make with the kids, plus fun to give to family. All about being good in every sense.

This is so cool! I’ve always appreciated alternative wrapping paper. When I was younger I wrapped a gift in an old comic book I found laying around the house. Turned out to be a valuable vintage collector’s item..sorry mom!
